Mui Yen Cape: Best stargazing spot in Vietnam
VOV.VN - Whether you’re a backpacker looking for a new adventure or simply want to spend a romantic evening under the midnight sky, Mui Yen Cape is the best place to watch shooting stars in Vietnam.

This young backpacker gets out of his jeep and stands overlooking the vast wilderness of Mui Yen Cape upon his arrival for a week-end retreat. He aptly describes it as a place where time freezes. |
 |
|
He and his companion are briefly stopped by local people herding their cattle across the desert red sand lining the main highway in the region. The delay takes about an hour. |
 |
|
Afterwards, the young couple leave the main thoroughfare and their jeep behind and trek for about an hour before finding the perfect camping spot. |
 |
|
By jeep it would’ve been only a 15-minute drive. |
 |
|
They choose an awesome place to pitch their tent. |
 |
|
And plenty of firewood to take the chill off the evening cool air in the desert. |
 |
|
They point the opening of the tent at just the right angle to catch the first rays of the morning sun. |
 |
|
There are no reliable maps of the desert so it’s important not to lose one’s bearings. |
 |
|
The two lovers are too excited to sleep as they stand in the cool night breeze, fresh air and gaze out across the evening sky. |
 |
|
It’s a starry, romantic setting. Occasionally a meteor suddenly shoots across the sky reminiscent of a childhood fairy-tale. |
 |
|
Even the red ambers of the campfire emit a special poetic glow. |
 |
|
The next morning brings a new adventure of hiking along the shoreline and feeling the sensation of warmth of the first rays of sun while listening to the soothing sound of waves pulsate off large stones. |
